00-03-01, Asia Pacific Labour Law Review 1999

The Asia Monitor Resource Center (AMRC) have just released the Asia Pacific Labour Law Review 1999 which investigates the present situation of labour laws and its implementation in 15 Asia Pacific countries -- China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The book also looks at the law with regard to groups working in increasing numbers of the fringes of society - children and migrant workers.

The book marks the beginning of a research project which demands to be monitored every two years, and which will chart the changes in national laws, international conventions and how individual countries implement (or fail to implement) laws, in the interests of capital but to the detriment of labour.

Inquiries can be made through Asia Monitor Resource Center at
444 Nathan Road, 8-B, Yaumatei, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
